On application for evidence of the service of William French in the War of the Revolution, I have examined the documents remaining in this office relating to that War, and find in the record of Settlements made with the Connecticut Line of the Continental Army, not find under head, "Settlement with two Companies raised at Wyoming under the Captain Simon Spalding for the year 1780", the name of W m French, as a private; and as commencing service January 1. 1780, and serving until January 1. 1781, one year.
And under head of "Settlement with the 1 st Connecticut Regiment, John Durkee Esquire, Colonel, for the year 1781", in which Simon Spalding is entered as a Captain, William French's name appears. He is entered as serving as a private from 1 January to 31 December 1781 - 12 months. And the name is placed in order as being of Captain Spaldings Company.
I certify the foregoing extracts and statements to be correct. Harrington, Comptroller

Sir
a poor old woman named Lucy Goff who has been known by me for a number of years past came to me in 1847 I believe and showed me that her father who was from Connecticut was a revolutionary soldier and that her mother died 13 ap l 1846 - and that there was certificates an act of pension made out in favor
of Mr B Jarvis
Frances French
Lucy Goff Sophia Carter for $648 88 being at the rate of 80 a month from 4 March 1836 to 13 ap l 1846.
She was asked on to send me her power also & agreement of our half her means for attending to the business
I told her not to do it and drew appropriate powers & affidavits & sent them to Mr Trevor Philad a . Cash r . Philad a Bk - The payment was to be made at the Philad a Agency
Mr Trevor informs me that

Two of these heirs had been paid and that the pension agent refused to pay any more till the Certificate was returned.
M m Goff has not got the Certificate & cannot get it - and those who could it will not file it because she will not pay one half for getting it - she having made no contract with any body & being poor is not willing to suffer any such abatement -
I ask you to look at this matter and to issue special instructions to the pension agent at Philad a to pay this money and proper attendants & services from her to J B Hewitt the Cash r . Philad a Pa.
Under my advice she sent her power there - You will perceive that she is fairly entitled - that a joint certificate has go ne to others & that they retain it - though the joint certificate shows her separate right to our grant - I charge no fee take no compensation - Those asking for M m Goff are from curiosity trying to get

her rights - Those holding the papers keeping her out of her rights are wanting to get one half -
If you cannot devise a mode to do justice to this old widow, I appeal to the Secretary of War, I appeal to Old Faith - So please make the order or promptly send up the case on this - Successor Appeals
Yrs truly Garnett Duncan

In answer to the enquiries contained in note of the 10 ult. respecting the husband of Lucy Smith who claims a pension as widow of her former husband William French, I enclose the accompanying Certificate. from which you will see that Smith is living but divorced upon the application of his wife - This divorce was obtained for the most substantial of causes, Smith being a confirmed drunkard, and of a temper that endangered the life of his wife -
You will please inform me of your decision upon this case. The proof of her marriage you state was sufficient
